What Does a Site Development Recruiter Do, and What Salary Range Should I Expect If I’m Hiring One or Being Placed in That Role?

A site development recruiter specializes in sourcing, vetting, and placing field and project leadership talent for site development work, including utilities, grading, paving, and land development projects. Roles commonly filled include superintendents, project managers, project engineers, estimators, and foremen.

If you are a hiring manager, a recruiter handles the full search so your team stays focused on the project. If you are a candidate, a specialist recruiter connects you with opportunities that match your technical background and career goals.

Pay in site development moves based on project size and complexity, sector, years of experience, relevant licenses and certifications, and willingness to travel. Senior field and project leadership roles command stronger compensation than entry-level positions, and candidates with civil, utilities, or infrastructure depth are in high demand.
